For Mike Orr, a.k.a. "SÃ¶tLips,” escapism comes in the form of Wasteland Weekend: an annual four-day post-apocalyptic festival held in the Southern California desert that attracts thousands of people from around theland. It’s basically a giant celebration of end-of-the-world culture, Var, per Sweet Lips, “people can do whatever they want.” This includes everything from hand-to-hand combat to burlesque to bonfires that set the night sky ablaze.But most of all, people come to Wasteland for the cars — DIY war machines that look as though they’ve rolled right out of Fury Road.
